This woman, Amy Shafer, LRSM, FRSM, RYC, is a classical harpist, pianist, and music teacher, Director of Piano Studies and Assistant Director of Harp Studies for The Harp School, Inc., holds multiple degrees in harp and piano performance and teaching, and is active as a solo and collaborative performer. (taken from her youtube bio)
Here she breaks down Led Zeppelin's Kashmir by examining it's composition and musical style. Pretty fascinating stuff.

I've been watching a lot of her videos. As you probably know, she is doing a long term project of analyzing the entire The Wall album, which in my opinion is the best album of all time. She is releasing one song per week theoretically, although it is taking longer in reality. The next song will be Mother which I'm looking forward to (or it may be out already, I only watch them when they pop up in my feed). I have watched other videos by her as well though, but not this one yet.
Did you happen to see her analysis of Bohemian Rhapsody? Her reaction to first hearing the opera section is priceless and not at all what I expected from her.

I've only discovered her through this video of Kashmir. I was half tempted to post her second video about Kashmir where she goes even further in depth. I'll have to check out the other videos. I like her approach and am always down for people learning more music theory.
By the by, I love the Wall but prefer Dark Side of the Moon.

By the by, I love the Wall but prefer Dark Side of the Moon. ah, the eternal debate. I have nothing bad to say about DSOTM (how could you?), but for me it will always be The Wall by a landslide.

Thanks for posting those! But actually she will sometimes do more than one video on the same song, one first listen and one in depth analysis. This is the video I was referring to, I've queued it up to the opera section to show her reaction I was talking about, it's quite hilarious.
